Chapter 2
: Yuanhe Mountain, Wugu Lingzhuang
"I'll sell these at Peach Blossom Market this afternoon. They're supposed to be good for boosting yang energy; they should be quite popular, right?..."
The thought flashed through his mind, and Li Changsheng channeled his meager spiritual energy, carefully plucked the thirty-six strands of "love energy" from the branches and leaves of the "love flower" into a "jade bottle," which he then tucked into his bosom.
After harvesting, I gazed at the "Love Flower" growth section.
A piece of information popped into my mind.
[Lack of relevant information makes cultivation impossible]
It flowers and sets fruit one month later, and the fruit matures three months later.
"Is there still a lack of information...?"
Li Changsheng frowned, but quickly relaxed.
Take this opportunity to stroll around Peach Blossom Market and collect information; you might just find spiritual resources to accelerate the growth of your "Love Flower" destiny.
Just then.
"Junior Brother Li, time to go to the fields."
A dull, emotionless voice came from outside the courtyard, interrupting Li Changsheng's thoughts.
"Shimoda..."
Li Changsheng snapped out of his daze, looked up at the sky, and sure enough, after lingering with Senior Sister Xu Yan for a while, it was already broad daylight.
He immediately raised his voice in response:
"Senior Brother Fang, please go ahead. I'll be there shortly..."
After saying this, he touched the "Love Flower" seed of his destiny and silently recited in his heart.
"receive."
The "Love Flower" seed of destiny shone brightly, visibly collapsing and shrinking inward, finally transforming into a spirit seed covered with pink light spots, which flew into his mouth and entered his heart's "life sac," waiting to be revitalized.
Although Yuanhe Mountain has strict clan rules.
But there's always someone who might want to take a huge gamble.
Li Changsheng was not comfortable leaving the "life seed" alone at home.
If some reckless person were to dismantle it and use it as spiritual material, there would be nowhere to turn for help.
He clapped his hands, turned around, and went back to the front yard.
Not long after.
Li Changsheng, munching on the leftover rice cakes from the night before, shouldered a hoe, wore a sun hat, walked out of the courtyard, and closed the gate.
The sky is high and the clouds are wide.
A red sun rises.
The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, slowly flowing among the grass and trees, like a fairyland.
"call…"
Li Changsheng took a light breath, the moist fragrance of grass and trees and the earthy smell of soil filling his nostrils, which involuntarily invigorated him.
He quickly finished the rice cake in his hand and headed down the road towards the mountain pass.
Traveling along the way.
The pedestrians were all like him, some carrying hoes, some carrying sickles, and some carrying iron shovels, all in the posture of going to work in the fields.
Yuanhe Mountain does not support idlers.
Not to mention these outer disciples, as far as Li Changsheng knew, even inner disciples had to work for the sect to earn resources, only the methods were different.
"Uncle Lu, go to the fields."
"Brother Bai, let's go to the fields..."
Li Changsheng walked along the roadside, greeted two familiar faces, and then lowered his head slightly, trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.
It wasn't his intention to do so.
However, the outer disciples of "Yuanhe Mountain" are of varying quality.
You could say there are all kinds of people in it.
The senior brother who was chatting and laughing with you one minute might be eyeing the spiritual plant you painstakingly cultivated the next.
It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's highly likely.
This is all because of the "Five Grains Spirit Manor" where Li Changsheng lived, where most of the people were not born with "life pouches" and were not yet "spiritual plant masters" of the first rank.
They were forced to engage in the low-skilled work of cultivating spiritual fields and planting spiritual rice because they lacked skills and were afraid of danger, in order to earn meager profits.
Such people are often the most vicious when they harbor evil intentions.
He had only been a disciple for a little over a month, but he had heard more than once about how a disciple who had been cultivating a "life sac" had his spiritual plant, which he had painstakingly nurtured for many years, cut down after only one trip outside the sect.
This made him suspicious and paranoid.
He always suspected that someone was after his precious "love flower," so every time he left home, he would bring it back to his life pouch, even though doing so would damage the roots of the "love flower" and slow down its growth.
After all, the "love flower" just grows a little slower.
Once a tree is felled, it's not so easy to cultivate "seeds" again.
First, one must break through the second level of Qi Refining in order to cultivate a second "Life Seed".
The second is the "seed".
Common seeds are everywhere.
However, spiritual seeds worthy of being nurtured into "life seeds" are not cheap.
Take "love flower" as an example.
Although it is of low grade, it is a rare "illusion" attribute, which not only makes it highly malleable, but also makes its branches excellent materials for crafting magical artifacts.
The fruit produced by the "Love Flower".
Due to its aphrodisiac effects, it is most favored by disciples who run "beast pens". A single low-grade "love flower" fruit can be sold for two low-grade spirit stones.
therefore.
The "Love Flower" spirit seed is worth up to three hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Fortunately, the sect saw that he had the talent of a "spiritual plant master" and waived the interest, lending him a "spiritual seed".
He doesn't need to repay the spirit stones.
All you need to do is sell half of the fruits of the "Love Flower" to the sect for the price of one low-grade spirit stone each.
Furthermore, even if the "Love Flower" is cultivated into a second-tier "Life Seed" in the future, half of it will still be sold to the sect at the price of one low-grade spirit stone.
In this regard.
Li Changsheng had no complaints.
Ultimately, whether or not to borrow money is entirely up to the individual; the sect will not force its disciples to purchase "spiritual seeds."
Amidst a jumble of thoughts, I followed the mountain path down the mountain.
Looking around.
Then, an endless expanse of lush green fields appeared in front of us.
It is one of the most important pillar industries of "Yuanhe Mountain".
"Five grains and spiritual food".
It is said that a Golden Core cultivator from Yuanhe Mountain used 1,888 first-order spiritual veins to set up the "Cultivation" array, which transformed the barren and spiritless land into fertile spiritual fields.
A century of reclamation.
To this day, there are already tens of thousands of acres of sacred fields.
Every year, a vast amount of grains and spiritual food can be harvested.
It's said that their grain business has even expanded overseas; they're incredibly powerful.
Li Changsheng's spiritual field was located at the very edge. It took him a full half hour to walk before he arrived at a field covered with tall grass.
That's right, it's a field.
The first task for newly initiated outer disciples is to cultivate three acres of arable land.
When the time comes, anyone who fails the inspection will have their cultivation revoked and be expelled from the mountain gate without any explanation or reason.
Li Changsheng glanced around and saw a busy figure bent over in the grass not far away. Without making a sound to disturb him, he stepped into the field where three-tenths of an acre had already been cleared.
"Ptooey, ptooey..."
He rubbed his hands together, gripped the hoe handle with both hands, raised it high, and swung it down with great force.
boom…
The hoe struck the ground with a dull thud, like striking cowhide. It went about two inches into the soil, then twisted slightly, causing the soil to churn and loosen.
However, the sacred field should be at least six inches deep, with nine inches being ideal.
Li Changsheng raised his arm and swung it down again.
Click...
With a sickeningly sharp cracking sound, the hoe only went in an inch before it could go no further.
Li Changsheng raised his hoe.
Then you can see densely packed, broken, snow-white roots and stems in the soil.
It is the goosegrass with roots and stems as tough as cowhide, one of the weeds that Ginnhon hated the most…
Li Changsheng loosened his numb hands, looking at the roots of the goosegrass with a headache, and thought to himself:
"If I knew the 'Sharpness Technique,' cultivating spirit fields would be much easier..."
The thought arose, and his mind stirred slightly.
The "Sharpness Technique" requires at least fifty low-grade spirit stones or more.
Needless to say, even if he sold his "affection," he still couldn't afford it.
If you can't afford the French variety, you can buy other varieties.
for example.
A "talismanic artifact" branded with the rune of "sharpness"...
The thought flashed through his mind, and Li Changsheng channeled his meager spiritual energy, carefully plucked the thirty-six strands of "love energy" from the branches and leaves of the "love flower" into a "jade bottle," which he then tucked into his bosom.
